Through video gaming, internet, and Generation Z culture, the urban space works as an algorithm, a playground, a battleground, a living space, a field of ever-flowing stimuli as well as a confinement. In this environment, the performing bodies enact physicalities and gestures appearing in urban underground music-based subcultures, such as hip-hop/rap, emo, noise, hardcore and punk, exploring forms of social disobedience through movement and sound. These obnoxious figures, charged by the effects of social injustice and struggle, proactively and playfully appropriate urban space and expose their confusion, frustration and rage while allowing their physical effort to transform into vulnerability, tenderness and intimacy.
